Lakeview Academy is a private, nondenominational, college preparatory school in Gainesville, Georgia.

History

Lakeview Academy opened in 1970 as a segregation academy in response to the court ordered desegregation of public schools.[1][2][3] The school's enrollment fell in the 1970s as parents became less concerned with avoiding racially integrated public schools.[4]

Arts

Lakeville Academy won the Georgia High School Association one-act play state title every year from 2013 to 2017.[5]
